Galithia

I am absolutely entranced, once again, with Middle Earth! A ginormous THANK YOU goes out to the entire creative team, all the performers, and the whole country of New Zealand with all its glorious folk and scenic wonders for making the long wait for "The Hobbit" worth every agonizing moment. Thank you Peter Jackson for assembling your brilliant team again who so magnificantly and vividly brought to life so much more wealth of Tolkien's source material than I could have every dreamt or hoped for. I will not feel my life is complete until I'm allowed to continue on Bilbo's journey in the next two installments. My hat goes off again to the genius of Mr. Tolkien. I realize how blessed I am to have lived during the time when the immeasureable collective genius of all who contributed to these epic films has so beautifully demonstrated the value and timeless need for such a creative passion and artistic vision as JRR's to be allowed its fullest visual realization. Every moment of the film, every line, every image, every nuance is sheer perfection and, best of all, a delicious feast of re-discovery of Tolkien's great work. Bravo, Brava, Bravissimo ultimo.
